Our Ambition In Life

Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody. (1 Thessalonians 4:11, 12 NIV) I know this scripture goes against the grain of a lot of people who feel as if is their aim in life to be busy and do things all the time - to occupy their time until Jesus comes. It is true that we need to work and and be fruitful - but it is also true that we should learn the gift of silence and not meddling in everyone's affairs. A key phrase here is "a quiet life.". I pray all of us would get this today - that we would practice mini sabbaticals every hour,every day, every week and every month. It is only then that we can sit at the feet of Jesus and truly hear His voice and words to our heart. Rest my child and be at peace today."
